People get things resolved via Hacker News when people comment on CEO account comments (Stripe comes to mind).
Nearly every company probably has direct lines of access for resolutions for VIPs, politicians not excluded.

Nobody reached out to me but I think even a statistician skeptic would have to entertain the idea that there's some "red phone" style back channel between them mods that occasionally is triggered.
I pulled the article and replaced it with a description of what happened because out of sincerity I felt compelled to follow in whatever footsteps those were. I never got an explanation about it.
Kind of a pity. I had been working on a book on tech and mental health but I abandoned it. Seems like it's an obvious topic these days
Politicians should be excluded from what you're talking about IMO.
They're elected to serve the people and stand for our American beliefs including the freedom of speech. A political party (the DNC in this case) getting tweets removed probably isn't a 1st amendment violation. But it's really shady and anyone from government (the white house in this case) getting tweets removed is likely violating the first amendment (or coming REALLY close to it).
